Hey Skully !!!

 

Thanks heaps for those shots, brought back pleasant memories of a flight I did 

in Feb 82, Business class on this magnificent aircraft.

 

Perth-HongKong-Perth.

 

Allow me to share with you 4 shots (apologies for the scratchy colour slide scans) that I took on this flight.

I can still taste the lobster ( West Australian of course !!) and the Bollinger. (sigh !)

 

 

About to board at Perth(aerobridges ? whats that)

 

Nice when you know the crew.

 

Ready to board by bus at Hongkong(Kai Tak no less !)

 

OMG, I can hear & feel those rollers !!!! B)

 

 

Enjoy Guys !!!

 

Cheers

Really neat pics both of you guys!  Oh how I miss flying on the L-1011's.

[skully 1,045]

Those photos are awesome Tony!

Now that had to be a memorable flight to exotic Hong Kong no less.

Thank you very much for sharing those with us Sir, if we ever meet the Lobster is on me! :lol:

Cool seeing virtual and real pics. I miss all those half chrome/shine bottom planes.

What panel are you using for Captain Sim L1011 demo model?

[skully 1,045]

Aharon, I'm just using the default bus panel CS has it aliased to for now.

The only thing I've modded on it so far are the FSX RB211 sounds I found here at the Avsim library

Gentlemen,

 

Thanks for your kind comments. The resize of the scans has

resulted in a loss of definition, but in case your interested, I can read from the original scanned

panel shot these facts......

 

31020 ft.....................mach .831 on the left... mach .838 on the right ( different pitot source maybe ? )

Hdg 340....................154nm NW of the Brunei VOR.

 

I was lucky in having the jump seat From T/O Brunei, till landing at KaiTak.

Which was a tragedy (not) as I missed the second bottle of Bollinger !!!

 

 

Cheers
